In a world of Butterflies

In my last post, I talked about my visit to the Butterfly Pavilion in Colorado, and while I was there, I took over 200 pictures, and I couldn't realistically put them all in one post. So, here are more beauties that came from several corners of the world.

The Common Tiger Glassywing (Tithorea harmonia)

The Common Red Postman (Heliconius erato)

 Tawny Owl (Caligo memnon)

From Costa Rica:

From Florida to South America:

Malachite (Siproeta stenlenes)

From Texas to Central America:
